How to Make Authentic Mughlai Mutton Biryani at Home
Blend red chillies and cashew nuts into a fine paste. In a bowl, mix mutton, ginger-garlic paste and beaten curd. Marinate for 2 hours.
In a wok, heat oil and add the chilli-cashew paste with 4 tablespoons of milk. Stir-fry for about a few seconds and add marinated mutton, onion, garam masala and salt. When the milk begins to separate, add a cup and a half of warm water and pressure cook until the mutton becomes tender.
In a deep bottomed pan, heat oil and sauté cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and bay leaves. Add the remaining milk, rice, green chillies, salt and enough water for the rice to cook. In another bowl, mix coriander, mint, fried onions and set aside.
In a pot, add a layer of rice and top it with mutton. Sprinkle half of the coriander-mint mixture and lemon juice. Add another layer of rice and drizzle saffron milk and ghee. Cover tightly and cook for about 30 minutes on extremely low flame.
Serve hot with a bowl full of raita, some lemon wedges and onions slices.
